The other at a lower fixed rate without abatement. The leading features which distinguish the first of these plans from those of all other Life Assurance Offices, are, that the business is carried on by the Corporation without any charge for manage ment being deducted from the Profits, and that the Assured are exempt from all liability of partnership. The abatement of premium for the-year 1837, on policies of five years' standing, under the first of the above plans was 661. 13s. 3d. per cent. The future annual abatement must vary according to the success of this branch of the Corporation's business. In the tire department assurances are affected at the lowest rates.

The c1i61;76. q this artist by the Duchess of Kenti to instruct the young Vrin& - "r; :% ,, ,,licated the fine taste of her Royal Highness, as clearly as the r.Tvision made for the sister shows her benevolence. The painic7, etAr a life of great industry in his profession, died in comparative verty, and the ladji quite blind, and from both these cir cumstances destitute. There trEs an ideality in the genius of Westall, and a precision and viour In his drawing, which fully justified his selection to that honOtifttlilt care, and the amiable and accomplished object of it is knoWti to have admired those qualities, Mr. Westall was formerly the most popular of our designefs, but against no one of late years has the cuckoo cry of " mannerist ?Jaen ff , unceas ingly directed. And yet no one can look at the drawings of his most distinguished contemporaries, Stodhard, for in stance, or Smirke, or Chalon, or Stephanoff, without finding their individual styles as strongly marked as the deceased artist's. Some years ago Mr. Westall made a set of draw ings to illustrate Ivanhoe, and some other of the Waverley series ; and the result, we always maintained, showed that the pages of the Ariosto of the North were his proper field of illustration. One sketch from that magnificent romance we well remember. It was the Templar making his daring offer to the Jewess at the stake, to rescue her from the armed brothers of his order. We never saw a figure which embodied so much pride, firmness, and vigour as that of the half paynim Templar in the drawing referred to. The Rodomonte di Sarza of Ariosto might have sate for the character. Westall would have illustrated admirably the Orlando of " the Southern Scott," which has not had a complete set of designs since those of that whimsical Knight s who carefully advertises the reader not to wonder that in some parts of his pictures the same figures are larger or smaller than in others, which is by reason of the law of perspective—a law, however, to which those grotesque shapes are as little amenable as may be.

Sir,—Having been for a number of years subject to the Gout and RheumfAism, 1 have tried every remedy that has been recommended, witho' a t the least benefit, until last year a friend of mine came to visit me, wile',, in one of my violent attacks. Being himself quite a Martyr to the chalky Gout, he told me of the very great relief he had experienced from taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. I immediately sent to Mr. Cowers, of West Bromwich, for a box, and in twenty-four hours, after taking a few pills, was quite relieved, and able to attend to my business, anti in two days was as well as ever I was. It is now more than twelvemonths since ; but a few weeks ago I had another attack, and having some Pills by me remaining, took a few, and in a short time was able to attend to my business as usual. I have recommended them to a number of my friends, who have all ex per!enced the same benefi , ial result as myself, and I will, with the person who named them to me (should you choose to make use of this letter) satisfy every inquiry that can be made. I am, Sir, your's, very gratefully, SA ML. LLOYD. Near the Old Bell Inn, Spoon-lane, 'Vast Broinwich, These Pills are tobe taken without the least care or atte n ti on, by either sex, young or old, and have the peculiar property of entir e l y removing the disease without debilitating the frame, which is universally left in a stronger and better mate than before the malady commenced. And there is another most important effect belonging to this medicine —that it pre vents the disease flying to the brain, stomach, or Other vital part.

The hair of my youngest girl completely came off afferent parts of the head, and there was also a total loss of heir from the eyebrows. She was induced, at the instance of a frend, to try your Balm, and after using two bottles the effects were most surprising, for in a very short space of t me the hair grew in a regular he dthy state. I think it but justice to yourselves and the Public to add my testimony to the virtues of your truly inestimable Balm. and you hare my full per. mission to give this letter that publicity which you think proper. lam yours, &c. (Signed) HENRY HA WKES. Pen-street, Boston, l incolrshire, June 1, 1829.

The approaching marriage of Miss Emily Bagot with the Earl of Winchilsea, it is at length arranged, will be solemnised in about a fortnight, at Brighton. Earl Win chilsea is in his 46th year, and by his first marriage with the eldest daughter of the Duke of Montrose has two children, George James Viscount Maidstone, who recently became of age, and Lady Caroline FinclipHatton, who is also, it is understood, on the eve of forming a matrimonial connection with Tumour, Esq AN' INFERNAL COOX.-.•-.Considering how intimately the rineiples of gastronomy are bound up with the feelings of human /Janine. and what long rows svf " good plain cooks," " family coOlier and other sorts of coat, are daily prenting their several welts in the advertising columns of the iiii";l7 papers, it becomes absolutely astonishing hoc,' so many uncultivatT4 individuals contrive to obtaing places as plain cooks, who not only " spoil the broth," but carry tur moil and discord whithersoever they go. Mrs. Williams ap Rice Williams summoned her late nitiste?, , Mr. Llewellyn Jones, for V. 65., the amount of one Mllnib''s ?Pages ' for her services as a " plain cook" in the family of Mr. Llewellyn Jones. Both parties, as the names imply, were natives of the same Principality. Mrs. Williams ap Rice Williams was very recently imported from tile' mountains, while Mr. Jones was evidently imbued with a consklernble portion of metropolitism, and, with the exception of a very comfortable-looking red scratch wig, was dressed in the first style of fashion. A COMMISSIONER—HOW came you to quit the service of Mr. Jones, eh Mrs. Williams? Plaintiff—Hurself sent. hur away, and ail fur no reason but putting too much fish in the pie.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Too much fish ? Pray how did you manage that ? Plaintiff—'Deed and hurselt cannot speak. Hur did as hur was told.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—ReaIIy, Mr. Jones, we must trouble you to explain all this. Defendant—l shall, Sir, with much pleasure. I hire Mrs. Williams to cook for me and my wife and children ; ea she come, and went well on till last Monday, when I told her to make an eel pie. Sir, this pie was made and put upon my table, and the very first cut I discovered that the eels were neither skinned, cut, nor gutted ! in fact, they were sent to the baker's just as they came from the river. Our stomachs were all turned, my hospitalities to my guests disturbed, and all of us made ill. 1 call this d—d cook up stairs, tell her of it, she laugh right in my face, and so I send her away directly, pay her to the day, but no more. Plaintiff—Hur only made a mistake, and hur must have hur money. After a short consultation the case was dismissed. BREECHES TO FIT.—A remarkably staid old gentle man, in a huge pair of velveteen breeches, and wearing spectacles, was summoned by a ninth part of a man (tailor) for 11. 2s. 6d. money, alleged to be due and owing for one pair of trunk-hose, or velveteen breeches. COMMISSIONER—What do you say to this defendant? Defendant—Why, Sir, this I say, as you must very well know yourself, if a thing don't fit, it's of no manner of use, not in the least, my Lord. Now, you jest look at my legs and judge whether • these things could possibly fit me. I say no ; very well then, what's to be done ?—why, re turn 'cm on his hands, in course ; and so I did, my Lord. He sent 'cm back again—and I sends 'em back again to him, 'cause, ye see, I couldn't possibly git my legs into 'cm. —(Laughter, amid which the defendant exhibited a pair of legs that many a Whitechapel porter might have sighed for). COMMISSIONER—What do you say to this plaintiff? You can't compel a man to take an article that will not fit him. Plaintiff, almost in tears, assured the Court that no breeches maker ever bore a better character for a good fit than him self, and could not account for the evident mistake that had been made. He was willing to measure the defendant for another pair. On this arrangement, the case was dismissed without prejudice. LovE !—Magnificent, sublime, divine sentiment ! An immortal flame burns in the breast of that man who adores and is adored. He is an ethereal being. The accidents of earth touch him not. Revolutions of em pire, changes of creed, mutations of opinion, are to him but the clouds and meteors of a stormy sky. The schemes and struggles of mankind are, in his thinking, but the anxieties of .pigmies, and the fantastical achievements of apes. Nothing can subdue him. He laughs alike at loss of fortune, loss of friends, loss of character. The deeds and thoughts of men are to him equally indifferent. He does not mingle in their paths of callous bustle, or hold himself responsible to the airy impostures before which they bow down. He is a mariner, who, in the sea of life, keeps his gaze fixedly on a single star ; and, if that do not shine, he lets go the rudder, and glories when his barque descends into the bottomless gulf.— Henrietta Templr. • A man boasting in a coffee-house that be had . drank six bottles of wine, a wag observed that it was more than he could swallow. At the Queen's Theatre, on Wednesday night last, it was announced that Signor Gavaldi would exhibit the perfection to which rifle-shooting can be brought, by strik ing, with a bullet from his rifle, an apple placed on his son's head. The feat he accomplished ; but in an attempt to hit an apple which the boy held in his hand be missed t his mark, and the ball passed through the fleshy part of he boy's thumb, and slightly splintered the bone. Very few of the audience were aware of what bad happened, as the boy bore it with the greatest firmness, and did not utter any exclamation of alarm which was audible beyond the stage. He was immediately taken to the Infirmary, where his wound was dressed, and he is now doing well. We should hope that such exhibitions as this will not be tolerated in future, even though the father should possess no more humanity than thus to place his son's life in imminent peril. —Manchester Guardian. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.—A gentleman belonging to this city, who has not yet escaped from the miseries of " single blessedness," had a box sent to his address last week. marked on the lid, " Game, carriage 2s. 6(1." On seeing the box, the bachelor's eye brightened with delight at the fine present sent him by some country cousin, and the glo rious prospect in % , iew of having a choice Christmas dinner with a few select friends, to whom he would present at least one turkey, a couple of woodcocks, and four pheasants, the supposed contents of the box. Having paid the carriage, and something to the porter for his trouble, the gentleman and his housekeeper proceeded carefully to open the box ; and after some little time and anxiety spent with the ham mer, the lid at last gave way, and what a beautiful present of game ! " Mew !" said a fine sleek cat, as she popped out her head from the box, and " weeo, wceo i" replied two brisk little kittens, being the whole contents of the game box.—Scolsman. Something more than a week ago William Byers and two companions were one afternoon at the pleasant village of Askham, near Lowther, on business in the horse-trade ; and as this sort of business is very often tedious, they bad protracted it till murky night had veiled the canopy of heaven in impenetrable darkness—no twinkling star to guide them in their path. When they left the village the nielt was stormy and tempestuous, and as they had not strictly observed the rules of temperance societies, they began to cut many strange mathematical fig-ures, known and unknown ; their way was down a gentle declivity to Askhambridge—now this bridge. is narrow and the parapets low—on arriving here the parties yawed and rolled he►wily, and when Byers reached " the keystone o' the brig," he made a lee lurch, and rolled over the para pet, and fell about twenty feet plump into the• roaring, foaming, boiling river below, for it was heavy and rapid, having been swollen by continued rain, and happy was it for Byers that his fall was so soft and easy ; hail it been •at either corner of the bridge instantaneous death would have ensued, as the structure is built on a rock, and the sides broken, rugged, and precipitous. The alarm Was given, " a man overboard," but his companions were helpless, powerless, and away went Byers floating down the stream, about to be lanched into the great ocean of eter nity, when, most lucky for him, Thomas , Bordaile, tailor, of Askham, was wending his way home in an opposite di rection, on the cast side of the river, and about forty yards from the bridge he heard the splash, and dashed into the stream up to the arm-pits, waiting to see what would come. and in less than half a minute down came the drown ing Byers, floating. unconscious on the wave ; he caught him in his arms and carried him more dead than alive safe to shore; he soon recovered, and OWC i his. miraculous escape to the courage and humanity of a tailor.— Wes/more land Gazelle. A singular occurrence took place the other night in Regent-street, at one of those dens not inappropriately called " hells." A Baronet had lost - 5001. at chicken hazard at the house the night before, and by means which he began to suspect- were not fair. On the evening in question his losses were repeated, when he demanded the dice to be given up to hint. This was readily complied with, except ing two dice, which were withheld, but which he eventually obtained, and putting the whole of them into his pocket, - declared that he would have them broken to pieces and examined. In vain did the groom porter remonstrate, and try various devices to act the dice back again. The next day they were examined, and found quite correct, except that two of them were fraudulently marked, each die having two cinques and two deuces. A threat of exposure induced the ' n.ambling-bouse keeper to return all the money which the Baronet had lost at the takles. A FEMALE MISER.-1-1. fcsv days ago a woman, of the name of Farrer, living nC ar Lambeth workhouse, not having been seen, and her sho' being closed, strong apprehensions were entertained that Some serious occur rence had befallen her, it being pretty generally re p orted that, though she received a parish allowance, yet she was in possession of considerable property. I n formation was accordingly sent to the workhouse, when Dunn, formerly a beadle, but now a messenger to the Board of Guardians, proceeded to the old woman's residence. He obtained a ladder for the purpose of entering the first floor, upon open ing the window of which he observed her huddled up m a corner of the room. She showed no symptoms of anima tion. The body was placed in a shell, and conveyed to the workhouse. where it was examined by Mr. Briant, the parish surgeon, whose opinion was that she had died of apoplexy. A search was afterwards made over her apartments, when, in her drawers, besides a considerable quantity of wearing apparel, there were found several silver spoons, with the ini!ials of her and her late husband's name. Under her pillow were five sovereigns and some silver, wrapped up in a pi ece pf rag. There were several articles of property. A document was also discovered, showing that a few weeks ago she sold a for 401. For many years she received 2s. Gd. from the pa :ish, besides 2s. Gd. a week from the Humane Vauxhall Sociel:'. An inquest was held on the body, when a verdict was r e,Puned " That she died by the visitation of God." On Tuesday evening a gentleoan named Vaughan, occupying apartments at No. 32, Jawitystreet, Cripplegate, made a desperate attempt upon his life, by cutting his throat with a razor in the most dreadful mauner. The un fortunate gentleman was discovered on the floor of his cham ber, weltering in his blood, by the landlady of the house. A razor was clenched in his right band. A medical g entleman was promptly in attendance, and staunched the blood by sewing up the wound. Subsequently the wretched man was conveyed in a coach to St. Bartholomew's hospital, where the medical officers of the institution did what was essential ; but, from the nature of the wound inflicted, which has divided some of the principal vessels, his dissolu tion is hourly expected. He had only lodged a fortnight in Jewin 7 streets and .his connections arc quite unknown ; but, from his appearance and manners, it is evident he has moved in the most respectable society. The cause of the rash act cannot be accounted for, as the unhappy gentleman's mind bad not been observed to be at all distressed—and he was evidently in possession of ample means. The Reverend Ebenezer Elliott, eldest son of the " Corn-Law Rhymer," has been ordained to the Curacy of New Mill, near Sheffield, by letters dimissory from the Bishop of Ripon to the Archbishop of York. The mischievous toleration allowed to the juvenile part of the community, to form slides in the public streets of the metropolis, has been productive of numerous, and, in some cases, serious accidents, during the last few days. A gentleman, residing in Finsbury-piuste, was brought to the ground with such violence, at the coiner of Fore-street, on Monday evening, that he lay for a few minutes insensible, and sustained some severe bruises. Surely the duties of the clay police are not so very onerous as to allow them no time to attempt the abatement of this nuisance. SINGULAR PHENOMENON,—AS Mr. Cambridge, of Heft Tilstesid, was returning home from Devizes last Thursday evening, a sudden storm of bail and rain cisme on from the west, when there suddenly appeared a small bri3ht, white light, of a globular form, at the top of the horse's ears, very much ressmi;ling a weak gas light, or a glow worm. In about a minute afterwards the horse's head and neck became covered with these lights, as many as 50 or 60 ; and on the small stick which Mr. C. carried in his band, as many as 10 or 12, all which remained while he proceeded about a quarter of a mile, when they gradually disappeared. Mr. U.'s gloves were very wet at the time. " I rubbed my hands down the horse's neck," says he, " but that had no effect in removing the lights ; I also rubbed with my hand the stick twice, but still the lights were not removed ; the horse became very timid, and shook his head, and stopped very much at the time, so that I had enough to do keep him in the road ; it was remarkably dark before the lights came on, but when they were on the horse and the stick, I could see the colour of such per fectly. but yet threw no light quite forward ; the hinder part of the horse, and my hat appeared to be also covered with the lights, but I did not ot.serve any on my coat ; the -lights were about the size of the fourpeany-pieces. The same thing was seen by a man and wt..meti, about a mile distant, in the same direction the storm was ; it was also seen by Mr. Smallbone, on whose whip-handle only it appeared, and particularly on the knots, as it was with my otiek ; yet there appeared no flame, but sa still bright From a Correspwzdent q f the Wiltshire Independent. So great has been the accumulation of snow in the great streets and thoroughfares of the metropolis, that the autharities have found it necessary to issue orders to have it carted away to the fi.slds in the suburbs, ia order to afford a free passage to the mails, stage coaches,• omnibuses, wag gons, and other vehicles, which every minute enter into London or proceed towards the country. In Oxford-street alone, upwards of 50 carts and 150 men were yesterday em ployed in this novel occupation ; but unless a speedy thaw should intervene, it is likely that a week, at least, must elapse 'ere that thoroughfare cum be entirely cleared. A t present, all omnibuses and other carrinCf have additional horses attached to them, in order to drag ti:sqa through the streets. CAUSES OF SUICIDE.—The following ace:mint, by throwing light upon the true causes of suicides, may tend to lessen the number of those dreadful - cases hereafter : Out of 125 women who attempted sclf•dc:+•ruction, but who were not able wholly to accomplish that fatal resolution, Dr. Scipion Pinel ascot tamed that six were d?iyen to this desperate act by grief for having lost their children, two by fretting at not having any, nineteen by misery and derelic tion, five by jealousy, seven in consequence of childbed, four by grief for being at the hospital, three by imitation, five by trifling quarrels, nine by politinl terrors in June 1833, eleven by religious excitement, thirteen by disappointment iu their marriages, three by remorse at having ctolen, four by e morse at having dceeivcd their husbands, thirteen ill conse quence of a disorderly life and prostitution, twenty-one by the bad behaviour and ill•treatment of their husbands. In every one of these cases the confessions of these poor ‘vrctelies are precious for science and morality. Another equally interesting circumstance is the manner of death they had adopted :—Twenty-seven suffocated themselves with charcoal, fourteen threw themselves into the • Seine, !wn took vitriol, twelve starved themselves, thirty-five at tempted to jump nut of their windows, five tried to strangle themselves, one to burn herself by setting her bed on fire, seven by inflicting wounds in their necks, five in their chests, one cut the arteries of her arm, twenty-one attempted to hang themselves. Suicide most frequently occurs from be tween twenty-seven to forty years of nge.—French Papa.
